I wanted to share with you that I spent the past month learning graphic design. Although I found that one month is not enough to acquire all the necessary skills and fully master the various programs, I have been able to start working on some projects successfully. Graphic design is a vast and complex field that requires continuous time and effort to achieve a good level of proficiency.

@@asnair2127 yes! Absolutely agree! The learning curve is never ending, and I think that’s what so exciting about it :)

[@LoveBug4EverAfter]

I'm really sorry but could you tell me what you did to start so quickly ? I recently decided that I wanna major in graphic design in Uni but I haven't started my portfolio and I only have a couple of months to learn atleast the basics to start some projects for my portfolio

[@Akiu85]

It's been a few days since I started graphic design and you motivate me in this way

[@madewithdaria]

I’m happy to be helpful!! I’m sure you’ll be great at it, just keep the work up and enjoy the process 😊

I am so happy I found your channel. I am a graphic design student and I find your videos to be really informative and helpful. I am trying to take initiative to learn more outside of school, because I feel like there is so much to learn and I'm missing out on tons of information. Your videos seem to answer a lot of my questions. I look forward to your future posts! Keep going!

[@madewithdaria]

Thank you so so much! I’m really glad that you found the video helpful! That’s the greatest motivation for me 🥹 Good luck on your journey! 🥰

[@fadwafoaad]

Absolutely loving your content 🤍

[@madewithdaria]

Thank you 🥹🤎

I saw the video, I'm not a graphic designer and youtuber but I would like to become one. I saw that you tried to re-record the video, and that's fine, because it's PERFECT, you can clearly do more, but the fact that you wrote the video and recorded it several times means that you cared about doing it well! And this is the right mentality, I assure you that if you continue to publish constantly, it will become more and more natural for you to do it, always remember that with consistency you can only improve, tomorrow will always be better than today, and today will always be better than yesterday, I'm convinced that you will grow quickly because it shows that you have so much passion for what you do. Ps. The curved frame in the video is beautiful, and I like long content more than short content, but short content is very useful. I'm waiting for part 2!!! ✨️

@@itwasagoodframe oh my God, I just woke up, like literally, and I’ve been feeling a little tired these last couple of days and out of ideas and creative energy, and you literally gave me a boost from the start! 🥺🥹 Thank you so so much!! I really appreciate your kindness and support and agree with everything you’ve saying!! 🤎🤎🤎🤎

The upside down book in the thumbnail is taking me out 😂

[@madewithdaria]

I did it on purpose I swear ahahah

[@fluffypanda5405]

I am also a theory learner and then practice. But I've been stuck in tutorial hell for months about creating layout and composition. How many months would you say it is good to learn theory before going into practice?

[@madewithdaria]

@@fluffypanda5405 I spent around 1,5months on courses. Can totally relate with being stuck on theory and moving onto practice, but I realized that taking the first steps in practice as soon as possible is key! It’s gonna inevitably look bad, but just trying, experimenting, developing a skill of visual balance is better achieved through practice. Just don’t be afraid to make the first step and keep going! You’ll figure it all out sooner than you expect :)

[@Mylanyoutubechannel]

Keep it up!

[@madewithdaria]

@@Mylanyoutubechannel thank you 😊❤️

[@janithlakshan2745]

Hi can you please tell me what kind of design skills i should i have in order to become a graphic designer and what are the trending graphic designer jobs etc..i am a university graphic design student

[@madewithdaria]

Hey! So it’s definitely the basic theory (layouts, color, typography, composition), the foundations of branding (brand essence, visual identity, consumer communication and market research) if you want to dive deeper into that niche. As well as softwares - Adobe CC, so Illustrator, Photoshop, maybe InDesign if you wanna go into editorial design. The specific skills depend on your chosen design direction (branding, editorial, UI/UX etc). You don’t have to pick and choose one, try different directions, see what you enjoy! In terms of jobs, I’m not an expert here, unfortunately… I would say website design is highly likely to always be in demand! However, other specializations are not less important. Again, try different activities and see what you enjoy! Good luck with your studies and journey 😊
